I have a god experience, maybe because I buy usually through verified sellers. Such as Hinoya, Rodeo Japan, Pants shop Avenue, Bears ....

Best is Hinoya where they also organize custom fees, so I needn't to solve any administration. Second is Bears. They ship above 15.000,- yen free of charge.... Very nice communication is also with Noaki from Pants shop and Seichiro - Freewheelers....

Shrink a lot. Be careful.

but in waist will come after couple of days of wear back to original size....

waist/hips shrinkage will return in 2-5 days of wear to the measurements before washing. just shrinkage of inseam is  irreversible .....

also for me FC are true to size (W33), but depends on your demanded look. I am same in FW, SC, WH, RMC, all W33, as in FC. But in Denime, Atlas&Co I am W34. And in LVC I am W36.....

you love your DENIME b_F 🐵

Atlast&co lot 147

Italian shoes. I think they are Officina Creativa. But logo disappeared. Bought them in Milano in 2013

and some pictures

finally I washed my new Lot 147 W34

comparison of raw and one wash in 30 C is bellow in cms ....

waist 84/83

front rise 34/33

back rise 40/39

thigh 35/34

knee 29/27,5

hem 26/25

inseam 90,5/85

so, no dramatic change, except inseam. And after one day of wear I feel waist is stretching back, maybe even more.

my first impressions after first day ? Quality and detail are top. Denim is very soft and hairy. I think that is very similar to high quality of the others top brands here which we are wearing. But the cut is for me new dimension. Legs freedom, deep high rise....  Fantastic

Very nice piece... but here is still too hot for to wear 15oz

Hi @CharlieMike . I measure the waist not aligned. To your second question, I don't know. it will be clear after measurements will be public....

Now I am in my new WH 1000XX DSB 11 days and I think that would be worthwhile to present how they stretch ten days after initial wash.

Taged size W33/L32

raw/after initial wash/after 10 days (all in cm)

waist 91/86/89

front rise 33,5/31/31,5

back rise 44,5/41,5/43

thigh 33/31/32

knee 25/24/24,5

inseam 89,5/82/83

hem 23/22/22,5  ??????

Yes. WH 1101 1970 is possible to pre-order, but measurements of sizes were not presented yet. I think it will be quite slimmer fit than the other cuts.

simply buy LVC Japan 505. I think some retailers still have them. I have them but MiUSA. In past years I gave them only 80 wears (so not so much to show) and my target is slowly to convert them to faded Ramones jeans ...

With wide denim pants I was thinking about warehouse 1004xx dsb couple of month ago till they were sold out. After I was hesitate if to buy full count 0105 1944 till I lost the chance to buy them due sold out. Now is in my head to buy real mc coys 900s, which are real wide. And if I procrastinate it, I will wait for restock of WH 1004xx, which I like due to the arcs….

Can anyone share their experience sizing Levi’s standard 501 STF vs LVC 501s?

I recently got a pair of standard stfs (36 waist) and surprised that so far they still fit larger than my 55 LVCs (36 waist - Made in Japan) and my 47 LVCs (expected for the 47s given how slim they are).
I regularly machine wash, usually weekly. Interested to see what others experiences have been...

Hi Hoohoo. I think at this thread are couple of experts of LVC, Levi's... Dr H and Mr. Friedman and others (guru Paul T), which can answer you better. But for to help you and answer well, is important to know if you compare new STF as not wash, or washed, with LVC you own. And if those LVC are washed, or no. If your new STF are already washed, wash them again and if the result will not be successful, use also drying machine.....

I think its a fair consensus at this point that the Lot 220 and 221 shrink to exactly tag size in the waist and not a cm more, and take a little while to arrive there. I wish I sized down on by my 220 and 221, since I bought my normal Warehouse size (31) based on shrink estimates and both are about 3cm too big in the waist.

I bought my 221 in the end of May. Decided for W34, although all other my jeans are W33. Raw waist was 87 cm and after double wash finished in 86 cm. All other parts shrank down normally.  Measurements are 2 pages back. So, I am more than satisfied, but I didn’t wear them, so I don’t know how they will stretch. 
Now I am in my new WH 1000xx. Measurements are in WH thread. They are in my normal size W33 and from 91cm raw they shrank to 86 cm. So final measurements are almost same as W34 221. After 1 day I feel, that they will stretch back to original raw measurements.
Denim hobby is still big experiment with not clear result …. :o)
